A Truth About Life: Reincarnation Exists.

Hello, friends, and welcome once more to Uvelopin. The topic for today is Reincarnation Exits, as a truth about life. I know some of you reading right now don't believe in reincarnation, mainly because you can't appreciate the proofs around you, or just for the mere fact that you just don't remember your past lives. Well ... in this blog, we will fulfill the following objectives:

1. Explain the major reasons why people don't remember their past lives (unless by some intervention such as regression hypnotism or some spiritual means);

2. Look at some of the evidences of past lives, and share some real life experiences;

3. Talk about some of the purposes of reincarnation;

4. Provide some ways to see your own past lives (the safest ways).

Now, let's get it on.

So, why don't people remember their past lives?

Well, it's simple; new physical body, new brain. The brain is the physical body's storehouse for memories, and the brain comes with the body by default. So, you drop the old brain as you drop the old physical body at death, and you pick up a new brain with the new physical body. And as you grow older, of course you start making new memories in this new lifetime and you believe there's no such thing as past lives just because you can't remember the previous one.

Now, some of you who reason on a higher level would say, "but, if we are Souls, Soul should reach beyond the brain and remember", and that brings us to the second reason why we don't remember our past lives. This is mainly to give Soul a fresh start! This means that you have to drop the personas of the previous life, properties, and, in some cases, families, etc, so as to begin and perceive life from a whole new angle. Why? Because, it's all about experience. Experience is the difference between you and a toddler, between God and you, between your parents... Experience is what makes you you, and what helps you grow. It teaches you. But, you can't make the most of an experienced when you keep holding on to old notions, habits and attitudes, and so on... They are blocked out when you begin this new lifetime. Let's look at it with this scenario; lets say you were a king in your previous life and one of your sons had you assassinated, and you came back, say a decade later, to this world again with a full memory of that lifetime and what happened to you, what will you do?Some people may become so fearful and reluctant to trust anyone, especially family (not to mention the bewilderment you feel because you are suddenly in a baby's body with, maybe, a different family); some people may go back to that kingdom to kill the people responsible for the death in the previous lifetime, which will continue the cycle of revenge between Souls involved (not that that doesn't happen anyway, but that's for another blog), and you cannot face and enjoy your new life because you are so hung up on the past. Some people could just keep committing suicide until they get the kind of life or family that they feel they prefer (like that will ever happen); and some people will try going back to regain the properties and statuses they left behind in the previous lifetime, which still defeats the real purpose of living again (we'll get to that...).

Some of you right now are thinking, "but there are some children who remember their past lives", and I'll tell you this, almost all children recall their past lives. I'll give you an assignment here: ask a child between 3 or 4 years of age this question, "do you remember when you were big?". You may get the most amazing and amusing, and in some cases, scary replies you can imagine. You can even try tricking them by asking them questions contrary to their lines of reply (like repeating a question you asked before but in a different way), and you will find that most of them set you back on track with the same responses, and in some cases, details to ensure that you understand what they mean. It's amazing! But the thing is, as they grow older, go to school, join new circles, and learn new things, the old memories are lost, and that same child can't recount those past life experiences anymore, and even begins to tell you that reincarnation doesn't exist. This is of course, until he studies esoteric teachings here and there, or some huge turning point in his/her life makes him/her investigate the idea of life after death, or go for past life regression hypnosis.

Now, some proofs of past lives.

Well... Thats everywhere! How else do you really explain certain phobias; love at first sight; hate at first sight (lol!); certain preferences you have in this lifetime; sexual orientations; adamant fondness for certain creatures or animals, or tribes or races; your complete understanding of love for all of God's creatures (including your fellow man); prodigies, and having talents or skills you know you never learnt in this lifetime (e.g. a great sense of judgement, ability to play the piano at 4 or 5 years of age, being a great mathematician from birth, being a genius from a very young age, etc).

Phobias are very common nowadays, though some can't explain why they can't seem to get over these phobias; until they get to know their origins.

Someone I'll call Imáh (one of the African names, meaning Love) used to have a terrible phobia for the police, and snakes. This is a true story here! She would shake in her shoes every time she saw a policeman or policewoman, because she was scared they were there to get her. Why? She didn't know. As for snakes, even a dead snake frightened her, and she could run for dear life if she even saw a rope in the dark and mistook it for a snake. And Imáh nursed this phobia for years into adulthood. One day, however, she requested for the reason behind the fears (with all of her heart) and she had a past life recall through a dream at night. She found herself running away from the police after she'd stolen something (maybe robbed a bank or a store), and she jumped over a fence in an attempt to get away. She must have landed badly because she couldn't get up, and while she laid there, a snake made its way up to her, bit her, and that's how that lifetime ended for her. By the way, she was a dude in that lifetime!

So the fears Imáh had were explained, and she could now live better with the understanding that the police were not after her (at least not anymore) and that her fear of snakes mainly arose from the shock of being killed by one in a previous life.

Now, I'll share my own experience. There's this guy I loved so much (who I would call Akpat-awa, meaning "Young man" in an African language) while I was in school, and he had this friend, another chic, who I would call Awô (an African name, meaning Person). From the moment I saw Awô's photograph, I knew I didn't like her, and I couldn't explain why. And she kept trying to take Akpat-awa away from me. One day, I got so depressed and requested to know why it was all happening, and then I saw it in the dream state; a past life recall. I was a man living in the dark ages or so, and Awô was my wife (of course, in a different form) and she was a witch. One day, she left me for, I think 10 or 20 years, and I found another woman in that at time to marry. This woman was Akpat-awa. We loved each other so much and planned to marry soon, but then, Awô showed up. Awô tried all she could to get back into my life and resume her place as my wife, thereby kicking Akpat-awa out, but I wasn't having it. Then, when Awô saw that I still wanted to replace her with this new love, she took Akpat-awa away and disappeared! I spent the better part of the rest of that life time in anguish searching for Akpat-awa, to rescue her, and kill Awô. I never saw either of them again; probably until now (when we meet again in school)!

This experience helped me have more love, understanding, and compassion for all involved. And I decided, in my heart, to forgive Awô for what happened in that life time. My relationship with Akpat-awa didn't last either. It was toxic AF! But I'm sure you get my point about reincarnation.

As for sexual orientation, if you are gay in this lifetime, there's a great chance it's perfectly normal, but more spiritual that you think. I know in some countries, like Nigeria, this is a controversial topic, BUT I DON'T CARE! I'm neither for nor against; I just have a point to make here, so get the point so we can move on. An (not the only!) explanation to your sexual orientation could just be that you have been a certain gender for so many lifetimes, or you just enjoyed being a certain gender so much that you just can't adjust so well to your current gender (which could explain the transgenders in a way). And that's ok. No judgement here. In some cases, your search for a lover from several lifetimes ago could make you accept that long lost Soul in whatever form he/she comes in, even if it means you becoming gay to be with him/her once again. It's a Soul thing, and nothing more!

Now, let's get into some of the purposes of reincarnation.

Reincarnation is more of a do-over, but more importantly, an opportunity to learn what we didn't learn in a previous lifetime, and balance old debts in the process (and in some cases, create new debts, good and bad). Sometimes, things just happen to people, right? And we don't really know why. And then, some people just scale through horrible situations unscathed (like being the only survivor of a car crash), and we wonder why. This is the point where karma meets reincarnation. You see... karma cannot be absolute without reincarnation. For instance, a serial killer committing suicide with the delusion that he/she has escaped justice, only to reincarnate and become a victim of a serial killer, maybe several times over... A brutal dictator fleeing to safety in some other part of the world where he/she lives the rest of his/her life without fear of being captured and killed, and then ends up, in the next life, in the same nation (or similar circumstances) in which terror is created at the expense of the citizens, except that now, he/she is on the other side of things and is one of the victims of the dictator.

Reincarnation is thus the balancing point for all Souls (along side karma). It's God's love in action, and the universe's vengeance (if you choose to see it that way).

A friend, who I would call Edidioñg (an African name, meaning Blessing) was with me in school one day. We were doing our registration for entry into university together. We were at an area in one of the campuses of the school where there are mostly banks, and then... Gunshots in the air!!! We ran into a supermarket in the area and hid, but somehow, a bullet still pierced Edidioñg's right ankle. Long story short, she passed through a lot of challenges, and almost lost her first year in school. Her investigation into the spiritual reason behind this situation led her to a past life in which she and her father in this lifetime (but both men in that lifetime) committed a war crime several years ago, where he ordered her in that lifetime to shoot a defenceless man in the leg for whatever reason. And she did it. And that's not all! Turns out her dad had also been shot in the right ankle some years back in this lifetime, and he endures the pains of his injury even more than Edidioñg does till today, because his own injury almost severely deformed his right leg.

So reincarnation is the universe's way of making sure no one gets away with anything. But, you know, what? It's not all bad! I say so because, I don't want you to go away thinking is all about the bad things you have done, and revenge. It's all about the LESSON. This is because, once you learn the lesson and it sticks, you stop making the mistakes. But like I said, it's not all bad payback. Some Souls reincarnate to come and help or take care of a loved one, uplift a generation, or even save the world! They come back as children, receive all the training they need, grow up to fulfill their destinies, and then translate from this world. It's a Soul thing...!

Now, what are some ways you can see/remember your own past life?

Many ways, actually. Some through past life regression hypnotism, meditation, spiritual exercises, dreams, through the help of mystics... many many ways! But, the way I'll suggest is the way I use and that I know works for me. I ask the Spirit of Life with all my heart to reveal it to me. I do this mostly while singing the word HU (pronounced H-I-U or "hue") which is believed to be an ancient name for God. Not that you cannot use any other mantra such as "MANA" which is believed to be the word sung to visit the plane of memories (the Causal Plane) where all memories from all our past lives from the dawn of time are stored. So, do some research, pick a method and investigate for yourself. I only mentioned those two methods because, for me, they are the safest. I consider them so because, the Spirit of Life would not show you anything from a past life that would unbalance you, however, any other method may. Just saying....

So, did you already know reincarnation exists? Do you recall any of your past lives? Do you feel you need more convincing? Feel free to air your thoughts.

I love you. Till next week.
